D&T group also participates and organises several outreach activities through out the year. A number of visitors (students and teachers from various schools and colleges, pre-service teachers from B.Ed & D.Ed colleges and teacher educators, resource persons from NGOs and other academic institutes) come to the Design and Technology Laboratory. The lab has an array of activities and displays. The objective of these activities is to spark creative problem solving and expression and will give visitors opportunities to think, make and test. The activities in the lab aim at popularising Design and Technology by giving a flavour of working with hands while using your imagination.
Some of the regular activities include: Exploring familiar and unfamiliar artefacts, Exploring bio-inspired objects, evaluating product designs. For more information on these activities, visit Resources.
